The mounts on the diff itself need to be extremely stiff. Otherwise, the pinion angles and tripod clearance in the cup will vary. Subframe mounts can be soft and not cause these problems. A large movement on a subframe mount 3 feet away from the diff results in a small movement of the diff by comparison.
